How to launch browser and visit web site in C#

C# Open Browser url

To navigate to a specific URL using a browser, you can launch the browser with the URL as a command parameter. For example, to open Google Chrome and visit Amazon, you would use the following command:

C:\>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "https://www.amazon.com"

This command specifies the path to the Chrome executable and the desired URL to visit.

In C#, you can open an internet browser by creating a new process and passing the desired URL as a parameter. This allows you to programmatically navigate to a specific webpage.

// In case of Internet Explorer
Process.Start("IExplore.exe", "https://foxlearn.com");
 
// In case of Google Chrome
Process.Start("Chrome.exe", "https://foxlearn.com");

Make sure to include the System.Diagnostics namespace, which allows you to start processes.

A key limitation of this approach is that you cannot guarantee which browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, or another) is installed on the user's machine.

If the user does not have any browser installed, they will encounter an error. However, this is typically not a major concern.
